Meh US S3 won't hit US until what end of July? I'm not looking foward US variants, I want Quad core goodness not a Dual core krait. But we will see who uses what and If I should consider moving to Tmo or not xD
I just hope they change the look of it because if that's what it looks like when it comes out for at&t I'm just gonna get an s 2

Meh It "could be" due to the fact Krait is similar to cortex a15 and its a smaller die, but I don't think the difference isn't THAT much compared to a Quad core. But I'm believe samsung's HKMG might yield better battery. + My bet is on dev. IF Tmo uses Exynos then anything can be easily ported from int vs the US variants won't. This is just me guessing and thinking out loud. Nothing to do but wait until release.
Now no more this is a kernel thread not SGS III
almost had a heart attack when odin failed on the first try 5 minutes before leaving for work... second attempt worked. thanks so much for all your hard work.
Edit: you have no idea how happy i am to have a working odin flashable kernel!!!!! now i won't get locked out of recovery for being dumb! this is wonderful!

I'm using Slim ICS and I flashed this kernel a couple of days ago. Haven't changed anything but I like it. It's done wonders for my battery, I think. With Slim's original kernel the Android OS was using more than 20% of the battery and I wasn't lasting the day. With Semaphore I see a definite improvement.
However, I'm unable to use NS Tools now. When I click on it in Settings, the settings menu closes down. I think it had BLN and silent time settings? What else is NS Tools for? How can I use it with Semaphore? Thanks!

Seems 1.2.1c causes a random power off with Wi-Fi enabled. I've downgraded to 1.1.1c and it seems not to happen. I read somewhere that /proc/last_kmsg is helpful to identify the cause of these random shutdowns. I can upload the file I pulled if it will help.
fyi, you can't hard brick your phone by a failed firmware flash, only a failed bootloader flash. So you're all good as long as there's not bootloaders involved
Reflash? I always have Wi-Fi on at home and no problems here. I do have a problem with Tethering though. Half the time when I turn on tethering, it errors and turns itself off. I have NetFilter enabled.
yeah i know, it was still a bit troubling....
I haven't noticed any issues to report...... excellent work

After running glitch for over 3 months straight, this is kind of refreshing very quick, sipping battery better than glitch and totally digging the semaphore app. Nice work!
Edit: actually stratosk...this is amazing!

hahaha I love the second edit! That's convinced me to give this kernel a spin!
I had to!!! It's that smooth and responsive. Been running it hard for the past 10 hours. No hiccups and the battery has been 25% better I'd say than glitch
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Is anyone using the kernel with slim and not having this problem? I like to use my phone to track my cycling and think that the compass error leads to oddities in the tracks (especially when I stop moving and it spontaneously shows me moving along what I think is the incorrect compass heading). Would greatly appreciate it if anyone has any ideas how to fix this!
Anyone else really short on available RAM? I ran the same exact amount of apps on docs v11 with previous semaphore kernel and at any given time i had around 150-180 MB free. Now I'm lucky to have 70 MB free? Any suggestions?

In order to load various modules of the kernel and enable or disable features use HM.Carbide's Semaphore Script Manager application. It automatically copies and runs the respective scripts from /res/scripts to /system/etc/init.d directory. The scripts:
- S05enable_oc_0800 (disable overclocking - caps max freq to 800Mhz)
- S05enable_oc_1000_default (disable overclocking)
- S05enable_oc_1100 (enable overclocking - max freq 1100MHz)

- S05enable_oc_1200 (enable overclocking - max freq 1200MHz)
- S10enable_gov_conservative (load and enable conservative governor module)
- S10enable_gov_ondemand_default (enable ondemand governor)
- S10enable_gov_smartassV2 (load and enable conservative smartassV2 module)
- S15enable_sched_deadline (load and enable the deadline I/O scheduler module)
- S15enable_sched_noop_default (enable noop scheduler)
- S15enable_sched_sio (enable and load SIO scheduler module)
- S20enable_netfilter (load netfilter modules for firewall or WiFi, USB tethering)
- S30enable_logger (enable logging)
- S35enable_tun (load tun module)
- S40enable_cifs (load cifs module)
Custom Voltage may be configured with Voltage control or similar applications.

Change log
1.2.6c (11/07/2012)
- USB mass storage disable write speed cache support (thanks kasper_h, DerTeufel1980 for the hint)
- CWM: Allow key to repeat on hold (thanks to FaultException, koush). Works for volume up, down and touch key menu (as down)
- CWM: fix selection bar color when battery < 21%
- CWM: upstream sync (thanks to koush) *
- initramfs sync some changes with CM9 (adb works in root by default in recovery)
- compiled with linaro 4.7.1 201206
Normal versions (for CM9 or ROMs without hugemem configuration)
1.2.6c
- 373.5MB - 385.7MB
For Slim ROM or patched ROMs with hugemem configuration
1.2.6sc
- 386.5MB - 398.7MB
* Please note that due to changes in nandroid backup/restore, previous versions of Semaphore can't restore backups from version >= 1.2.6. To be on the safe side, please renew your backups.
1.2.5c (20/06/2012)
- rebased to 3.0.17 (thanks to trailblazerz11 and eugene373 for their github)

- upstream sync (fixes for cdma in-call volume and mic gain included, thanks to pawitp, efpophis)
- WiFi PM_MAX when suspended
- fixed 800MHz underclocking
- changed boot splash screen

- bugfix: enabling Wi-Fi hotspot twice (copy the new netfilter script in order this to work by disabling and then enabling again netfilter in Semaphore app)
- creation of /system/lib/modules if does not exist
* It doesn't mean that this will necessarily resolve the known bootloop issue, but it may help on bootloops because of bad OC/UV etc.
